is it plugged into a USB port? And if usb is it directly connected to the computer, or is it an external USB hub ( like a splitter to give more connections)...

* confirm that other USB devices work...camera, MP3 etc

Have you restarted your computer,

right click on the "My computer" Icon and select "manage"...click "Services" ( under Services and applications)... On the right side look for Print Spooler, make sure it says "Started", if not restart it ( not the computer the service)...the option is on the right click menu or look at the top...make sure Print spooler is selected.
